If even a particle comes into contact, that substance becomes unacceptable. Similarly, even a small portion of *Ahadkarma* renders the entire food impure. Acharya Haribhadra considered mixed food contaminated with the element of potential *Ahadkarma* as *Pootikarma* dosha. *Pooti* does not occur merely by contact with *Ahadkarma*, but food contaminated with *Pooti* is also considered to have *Pooti* dosha.
In *Moolaachar*, five types of *Pooti* are specified: 1. *Chulli* (fireplace), 2. *Ukka* (mortar), 3. *Darvi* (doorway), 4. *Bhajan* (vessel), 5. *Gandha* (smell). In *Anngardharmaamrit*, two types of *Pooti* dosha are found: *Aaprasookamishra* and *Kalpit*. *Aaprasookamishra Pootikarma* is the name given to *Prasook* substance mixed with *Aaprasook* substance. The second *Pooti* dosha, called *Kalpit*, is when the food is not used until it is given to the *Sadhu*. There is a significant difference between *Aaprasook* and *Ahadkarma*. *Aaprasook* means *Achit* (unacceptable), while *Ahadkarma* means food made *Achit* for the sake of the *Sadhu*. The various types of *Pooti* dosha can be presented in the following chart:
**Pooti**
**Dravya** (Substance)
**Sookshma** (Subtle)
**Upakaranavishayak** (Related to utensils)
**Bhaktapanavishayak** (Related to food and drink)
**Indhan** (Fuel)
**Dhoom** (Smoke)
**Vaashp** (Vapor)
**Agnikan** (Fire particle)
**Nishith** (Night)
According to *Bhaashya*, the types of *Badarpooti* are as follows:
**Badarpooti**
**Aahar** (Food)
**Upadhi** (Cause)
**Vasati** (Residence)
**Upakaranpooti** (Utensil contamination)
**Aaharpooti** (Food contamination)
**Vastra** (Clothing)
**Paatra** (Vessel)
**Moolgun** (Primary quality)
**Uttargun** (Secondary quality)
*Nishith Bhaashya* has classified seven types each of *Moolgun* and *Uttargun*. In house construction, the use of two *Veli* (creepers), two *Dharana* (supports), and one *Prishthavansh* (back support) are related to *Moolgun*. The seven things related to *Uttargun* are: bamboo, *Kadan-Okampan* (construction materials), roof construction, plastering, door installation, and earthwork. If six of these are *Prasook* and one is *Ahadkarma*, then *Pooti* dosha occurs.
